WASHINGTON, March S.-A package has
been received at the dead letter office which
was mailed in Boston and addressed to the
Prince OF Wales, London England. 1t
was held for postage. When 1t was opened
it was found to contain a brass figure Of
Christ, evidently detached from small
crucifiX, and spall glass tube containing
a white liquid and having a two wires
running through the tube and projecting
from. both ends. A paper inclosed con-
tanned an incoherent sentence. The dead
letter officials were apprehensive that the
glass tube might be an internal machine,
and it was carefully packed in cotton, and
they are trying to find some one who will
test the qualities of the liquid.

THE FOLLOWING DETAILS
of the arrangements for the funeral are
given to the press tonight: The services
from the beginning will be under the drec-
tion of Rev. Charles IL. Hall, of Holy
Trinity church, who will officlate at the
house when the first services take place on
Thursday morning at $50 o'clock. At
1880 the remains will be escorted to the
church by the Thirteenth regiment, of
which Mr.. Beecher was chaplain. Com
pany G, called Plymouth company Oh ac-
count of its members being attend
ants of Plymouth church, will act
as guard of honor until the
remains are finally transferred to Green
wood cemetery. where they will be placed
i'll receiving vault to wait the final dispo
sition, which will be decided later. 1t has
not been yet decided whether the remains
will be removed Friday night or Saturday
morning. The funeral services are to take
place at 1880 Thursday morning at the
church, Rev. Mr.. Hall officiating. There

in the church, nor will the family wear
mourning. Many times Mr.. Beecher has
said in his sermons. 'Strew flowers on my
grave, but let no heathenish practice pre-
vail of draping in black as token of sor-
row when man has passed through death
to eternal life." The Sabbath school chill
dren of the Home, Bethel and Mayfower
schools. all connected with Plymouth
church, will attend III a body the church at
o'clock Friday afternoon. The body will
lie in state in the church. The leading
clergymen from all parts of the country will
be present. 1t is the wish of the committee
to have the remains lie in the church until
all the citizens of~Brooklyn shall have
viewed them. The Logan memorial COM
mittee in letter of sympathy expressed
their desire to assist in the ceremony, and
have suggested holding contemporary
service at the Academy of Music while the
services are in progress at Plymouth church.
1t was decided to adopt the suggestion. At
a meeting of the board of officers
OF THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT
of Brooklyn, Of which Mr.. BoecEer was
chaplain, it was determined to offer mill.
tary escort at Mr.. Beecher's funeral. The
aldermen of Brooklyn held special meet
ing to-nlgnt ana passed resolution proVId-
ing for the draping OF the city buildings
and the closing of public offices on
the day of the funeral. The municipal
council OF the Irish National league tonight
adopted resolutions expressive of regret at
Mr.. Beecher's death and The grateful re-
membrance of his good words in behalf of
struggling Ireland. The Kings County
Democratic club passed appropriate resolu-
tions. Many other organizations, military
social and political, have already taken
similar action or have made preparations to
do so.

MADISON, Wis, March s.-The senate
passed a very quiet day, doing but little
business and that mostly of local character.
A bill was passed fixing the terms of court
in the Fourteenth circuit. The assembly
bill passed authorizing sheriffs to offer a
reward of $500 for the capture of felons
whose crime is punishable by five years
Imprisonment. The assembly passed bills
creating the county of NJ ills out of the
eastern half of Ashland county; making
persons committing fraud in furnishing
impure milk to butter or cheese manufac-
turies liable to a fine of 500; fixing the
penalty for issuing checks en- banks with
intent to defraud when the person issuing
the check has no deposit. The bill appro-
priating IS, 600 for the erection of monu-
ment on the battle field OF Gettysburg was
conculed in. The minority report of the
committee on the assessment and collection
of taxes was rendered against the passage
of the bill taxing mining companies on their
capital stock. The assembly held an even
ing session, but did nothing save listen to
reports of various committees.

and informed the members of the press that
the end was very near. The family were
weeping and sobbing so they could be heard
all through the house. DIR. Searle stood by
the bedside holding one of Mr.. Beecher's
hands and at $3.50 he said:
''1IR. BEECHER Is NO MORE, HE Is DEAD"
1t IS difficult to describe the scene at this
moment. Notwithstanding the fact that
his death was looked for, it seemed to come
with such crushing force that the family
were perfectly pr0strated with grief. They
could not bring themselves to the sad re-
aiiZaton that the kindly musical voice of
the husband, father and grandfather was

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

DIR. Searle'S Statement Regarding
Mr. Eseccher's Last RaOurs--Con-
dOlemce.
New YORK, March S.-Dr. Searle makes
the following verbal statement in regard to
the distinguished divine's last hours:
Mr.. Beecher began to fail decidedly at 3
O'Clock this morning; respiration rapid. AT
4 o'clock the family was summoned. Death
came slowly and steadily. The respiration
became faster until 60 a minute was reached;
pulse variable and often reaching 40.
He still renamed in the same condition,
with eyes closed and entirely unconscious
The motions of the right arm became less
frequent and were finally stopped almost en-
tirely. About O'Clock in the morning we
could detect the first symptoms Of immediate
DEATH HIS pulse ran I'D still higher, and
tlickered and fiuctuated until 9:2S, two min
uteS before his death. His pulse ceased
almost entirely at the wrist, so faint that it
could hardly be detected, and then stopped
altogether. There was q rafting in his
throat. painful to those around him, but un-
felt by him, owing to the failure of the nerve
center of the respiratory organs, together
with the failure of the hearts action. His
DEATH which came at $3.50, was very easy as
painless if not pleasant as death from sutfo-
cation or drowning is said to be.
CONDOLENCE.
In the sitting room in the back of the
house, where the great preacher spent
many of the hours of his life, Maj. Pond,
this evening, was engaged in answering
the many kilograms that were received by
Mrs. Beecher. A large number of persons
called at the house during the evening and
left cards with kind words of coincidence.
A crowd of persons still hovered around
the house and gazed in silence at
the windows of the room where
the body of Mr.. Beecher lay. The pail
bearers have not yet been selected. The
will will not be made public until after the
funeral. The members of the family were
gathered in the front part of the house to-
night and received their friends until 9
o'clock, when the house was closed for the
night. Mrs. Beecher bears up wonderfully
under her heavy affiictiun. She is quite
calm and composed. The following was
among the kilograms received:

DEs MONIES, Ia, March S.-The cor

inquest on the body of Constable Logan.

teamster and of their further Willingness to
contribute funds for the defense if needed.
There is no sympathy expressed for Logan
in this city, but at University. a suburb,
where the dead man resided. an indigna-
ton meeting was held and there was some
talk of lynching, but nothing will probably
come of it.

sciousness after paralysis stupefied his mind.
1t was observed at midnight that the great
divine was slowly sinking to his last rest.
AT once the family was summoned to the
bedside of the dying husband and father.
The scene was sad in the extreme. The
grief of the members of the family knew no
bounds, and the few friends that encircled
the chamber were likewise affected.

morning that he could survive but short
time, and DR.. Searle, who was with him,
so apprised the family. At $3.50 a. M. the
doctor wrote out
A BULLETIN,
in which he stated that Mr.. Beecher was
failing rapidly. A 7:3O he issued the fol-
lowing:
Mr. Beecher is sinking steadily, and will
probably live but short time.
Hundreds who came and read this went
away with sad expressions and some with
fearful eyes. S. V. White called at the
house shortly before 9 o'clock and it was

predictions to this effect are heard every-
where by your correspondent The ex-
perlence OF the past two winters in con-
gress has shown very clearly that the inter-
ests OF the country have become altogether
too vast and complicated to be thoroughly
looked after and kept within the time
afforded by the regular sessions. Much of
the first, or long session, is usually devoted
to the formulation of business for the second

ferred from one year to another. Enough

itself. The general deficiency bill is one of
them; the river and harbor bill, or certain
expenditures under it, another. Everything
which the late congress left in crude and

it is argued, by an extra session. Much
